A short way up the first pitch, easy sport lead. Fun.
A party of three unknown climbers at the first belay of the Cave Route.

Cave Route, December, 2000. Photo by Jim Thornburg
A party of three unknown climbers at the first belay of the Cave Route.
Looking down through the top of the squeeze chimney to view the belay at the top of P1.
Second belay station. set up using near by bush/tree as anchor.
Shirley's having no choice :)
View from the cave. Used .5, .75, and a #3 cam to do the anchor. Didn't use any trad gears other than that.
Shirley sending the first pitch. Looking back from the cave.
2nd pitch of the Cave route in all its glory. Heavy on the guano with a liberal helping of sand on most holds. The squeeze is fun, but the climb not worth it.
approach to the grassy cave - up over the ledge and then up and out through the cimney
View up the cave route - camera is on a light angle - the ground isn't that steep
That's why it's called squeeze chimney...:)
